- Build and manage detailed project plans, adapting to evolving priorities
- Work closely with stakeholders to ensure alignment and engagement
- Drive effective communication across teams and leadership
- Monitor progress, manage risks, and ensure timely delivery
- Lead RAID processes and proactively resolve issues
- Prepare and present updates to senior stakeholders and governance forums
- Coordinate resources to maximise efficiency and delivery success
- Support the embedding of change through strong stakeholder engagement
- Contribute to continuous improvement of project and change practices
About You
- Proven experience delivering business change or transformation projects
